Intriguing plot and well-developed characters. The themes of love, money, and betrayal are timeless. A bit slow-paced at times.
Sanmohak Panda –
A classic for a reason! The characters are so flawed, but compelling. The Venice setting adds to the atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Harshit –
Murdoch’s prose is stunning. The story, while captivating, left me feeling uneasy. Milly’s fate is heartbreaking.
Afnas –
Found the book a bit hard to get into. The writing is dense, and the characters weren’t immediately likable. The story did grow on me eventually.
Ram Nikunj Sharma –
The themes explored are really interesting. The writing style is intricate. I think it required more attention than I could always give it, but a great piece of work.
Sandhya Kumari –
A beautifully written but ultimately depressing story. The characters are complex, but their motivations are questionable. Not sure I enjoyed the ending.
Benkteshwer Nath Aman –
A powerful exploration of human nature. The moral ambiguities of the characters make this a thought-provoking read. I’m still thinking about it days later!
Nikita Jain –
Good story and a decent read. The ending felt a bit rushed and not entirely satisfying.
